Brennan did the absolute right thing in Heat 10. If he hadn't of gone down then Jeppesen would have collected him and both would have ended in the fence. Watch the replays and see how wide he went ( came in far too hot).
Ref got it wrong as Tom did the right thing - no point risking a big injury.
As Scotty demonstrated last night on TV not only do you have the dangerous build up of dirt on the outside, the middle was very slick and any rider going from the Deep dirt to the slick is likely to get in trouble - again dangerous.
Potentially that is what happened to Ben. Very pleased he is not as bad as feared.
The Gate story was nonsense. The tractor dumped dirt on gates 2 & 3 and if you watch the reply, when it pans out to Phil Morris on the track he is raking the dirt away from Gate 2.
